Full-Text for Widgets

The other day, I noted the Ajax Patterns widgets have been broken down into content, form, and page architecture. The patterns for those are now complete. Give me yellow! Yellow is the colour for full-text descriptions, and the bottom of the page is starting to look a nice shade of yellow.

There are full summaries for each pattern on the homepage too. So the upshot is there’s a description for each of these:

Content Widgets

Drilldown To let the user locate an item within a hierarchy, provide a dynamic drilldown.

Microcontent Compose the page of “Microcontent” blocks – small chunks of content that can be edited in-page.

Microlink Provide Microlinks that open up new content on the existing page rather than loading a new page.

Popup Support quick tasks and lookups with transient Popups, blocks of content that appear “in front of” the standard content.

G’Day

Welcome to Michael Mahemoff's blog, soapboxing on software and the web since 2004. I'm presently using HTML5 and the web to make podcasts easier to share, play, and discover at Player FM. I've previously worked at Google and Osmosoft, and built the Ajax Patterns wiki and corresponding book, "Ajax Design Patterns" (O'Reilly 2006).
For avoidance of doubt, I'm not a female, nor ever have been to my knowledge. The title of this blog alludes to English As She Is Spoke, a book so profoundly flawed it reminded me of the maturity of the software industry when this blog began in 2004. I believe the industry has become more sophisticated since then, particularly the importance of UX.
